COThe Metropolitan Police of Bogotá, in coordination with the Attorney General’s Office, executed an operation against the criminal group known as 'El Mesa' in the Suba district. The operation included six search and seizure warrants resulting in the arrest of seven suspected members of the organization. Authorities accused the detainees of drug trafficking and illegal possession of firearms, including aliases such as Barba, Vives, and El Oso, who were linked to coordinating drug sales and illegal payments. The operation targeted distribution points in neighborhoods like Tibabuyes, Occidental, Rincón, and Puerta del Sol, leading to the confiscation of over 4,500 illicit substances and an armed weapon. One individual was captured in San Cristóbal, and police reported that the group moved up to $100 million weekly through drug trafficking. A judicial authority ordered house arrest for the detained individuals while the legal process continues.
